The Blacklist

Chapter 284 It's not easy to earn some crime-killing points
Reddington is very reliable and he quickly found out Rene's whereabouts and informed Carrie.

On Saturday, September 9, in a high-rise office building in Manhattan, New York, Rene LeBlanc was introducing his main business to five bad capitalists: "The President of the United States is not God. Although he ordered the freezing of your assets in the United States, this ruling is not final. At least I do not agree with it...

"Gentlemen, according to my statistics, your frozen assets are worth a total of 7.6 million US dollars. Now you can no longer use these assets, which must have affected your normal business operations. I sympathize with you for this! Therefore, I will provide you with a special financial service..." Having said this, he gestured.

A female assistant turned on the large screen hanging on the wall, which showed the cabin of an airplane. A whole pile of cash was neatly placed, and several gunmen were counting the amount of money nearby...

René continued, "This is at a private airport 14 miles from here. I have $6 million in untraceable cash in my plane. If you sign the mortgage agreement on the table, you can get it! I think it's enough for you to resume normal operations. How about it, gentlemen?"

The five bad capitalists looked at each other and nodded. Although this was a bit of a disadvantage, they were all in urgent need of cash, so it could be considered a good deal!

After a brief silence, the five of them agreed and signed the loan agreement with Rene who was laughing.

Just after the agreement was signed, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and a team of fully armed SLR operatives rushed in and took control of the scene!

Kerry walked in, took a look at the people arrested by the action team, reached out and picked up a stack of agreements on the conference table, flipped through them, and sneered, "It's indeed a good deal! But, aren't you too arrogant? Do you think our IRS doesn't exist?"

Everyone who was pinned down and handcuffed was stunned. IRS? This is bad news!
At this time, the big screen showed that the plane carrying the cash was also controlled by another team of operatives. Seeing the cash being repacked, Rene's heart was bleeding!
This time, Carrey got a great harvest: a Gulfstream 550 business jet, $6 million in cash, and six senior criminals! Unfortunately, for the sake of his subsequent plans, he couldn't kill these guys on the spot, and he couldn't pack up the cash himself, which was really a pity.

After returning to Washington, D.C., Kerry took his find back to the post office. When he called the IRS, Executive Deputy Director Most was so happy that he reported to the director and ordered the Special Audit Office to send someone to the post office to receive the goods!

Not only 600 million in cash and a plane, but also other assets of the five bad capitalists, including those that had been frozen before. If the operation is successful, another 700 to 800 million will be in hand!
Kerry's contribution this time is so great that the director and Most are discussing increasing his salary again to prevent him from focusing his main energy on CTU and not collecting taxes properly!

Needless to say, Wright and Cooper from CTU both called to congratulate him, and emphasized Carrie's absolute command over the two departments of the Post Office. They gave him the green light for all subsequent actions without even looking at the specific plans.

Kerry was responsible for dealing with the rewards, encouragement, and harassment from the upper echelons, while Donald and his team took over the follow-up plan and notified the CTU headquarters and the USMS (Federal Marshals Service) to transfer the criminals to the prison for serious criminals after the preliminary interrogation...
-
On Sunday morning, after being severely interrogated and determined that he would not be able to escape safely, Rene asked to meet with the head of the department. When Donald went to see him, Rene offered to provide a large amount of evidence of other people's crimes in exchange for an immunity agreement. Donald immediately "asked for instructions" from his superiors, and received a reply half an hour later: depending on the facts of the crimes confessed by Rene, if they meet the corresponding standards, he can be given an immunity agreement; however, the signing of the agreement must be carried out in the DC court under the witness of a federal judge.

So, at 10:30 in the morning, an armored prison van drove out of the underground garage of the post office and headed towards the District of Columbia Federal Court, escorted by two SUVs in front and behind. The van was escorted by SER field operations team members.

The post office is not far from the DC Federal Court, only four miles away. The convoy only took fifteen minutes to reach the destination. Everything seemed to be going well!
At the entrance of the court parking lot, the federal marshals who came to take over were very relaxed. They stepped forward to hand over the prisoner, and then they just had to bring the prisoner into the court to complete their mission...

The captive was taken down from the prison van. The captain of the bailiffs came forward to inspect him, and then he and Donald, who was leading the escort, handled the handover and signed the acceptance documents. He then waved his hand and signaled his men to take the prisoner in...

At this moment, a sudden gunshot rang out, and the masked prisoner was shot in the head and fell to the ground with his head facing up. The scene was in chaos!
Donald and the others who had not yet left immediately drew their guns, arranged defenses, sent people to hunt down the killer, and immediately put the prisoner in a prison van and rushed him to the hospital - even if the person was dead, they had to make a gesture, right? But no one knew what happened in the middle.

The detectives and marshals at the scene quickly determined that the killer had shot with a sniper rifle at an office building 24 meters away. They immediately rushed over to search, but only found an M sniper rifle on the roof. The gunman had already fled.

The sniper attack outside the federal courthouse caused a huge uproar in Washington, D.C. Law enforcement agencies such as the FBI, DHS, USMS, and DCPD were held accountable by their superiors, and many bigwigs were furious!
Half an hour later, Carrie returned to the post office. This time the plan was completed very well, with the full cooperation of Donald and others. After extracting all the intelligence, he took Rene to wait not far from the court. When he first knew that the substitute was shot by M24, he shot Rene with the same gun and switched the bodies in the middle...

This operation was a bit troublesome. Donald and others were actually a little confused, but it was Director Kerry's arrangement and no one mentioned it. They just carried it out seriously and successfully executed the plan perfectly.

This was Carrie's personal gain, but for the Post Office, it was certain: it was hard to say whether there were other instigators behind the Thrush Gang's actions, but Kirk's employment was definitely a factor. If that was the case, they could take action.

Immediately, Gina notified Jeffrey and Elise who had arrived in Baltimore in advance, and asked them to take the SLR field team to start arresting the Thrush Gang; then, Carrie, who had arrived for free, personally ordered the Baltimore CTU branch to cooperate with the FBI and the police station to block the city and begin searching for Kirk!
